What the h*ll happened yesterday?
I woke up sicker than a dog yesterday...couldn't keep anything down and couldn't move without feeling queasy. This morning I am better...much better. Could it have been food poisoning, or is there really a such thing as a 24-hour bug?:ohwell: Back to it today....I didn't eat much yesterday so the calories aren't really an…

No sport allowed for 4 weeks!!! - upset, frustrated and scar
So I was jumping on our trampoline last night and as I jumped i heard a ripping noise in my knee. Anyway the doctor I saw isn't completely sure yet what's wrong but she says that she doesn't think it's anything serious (which is good news) HOWEVER I am not allowed to do sports for 3-4weeks! :mad: This is the most…

Anything One Can Eat to Combat Stress?
I have a very stressful couple of weeks, with lots of performances, and my stomach is a mess because of it. Any ideas on what to eat that can calm down that nervous stomach feeling? It's driving me nuts.

Uh oh!
Uh oh says it all. (Almost). I'm really new at this healthy lifestyle stuff. A total beginner. I say that because I've had plenty of big ideas in the past that have gone absolutely nowhere (except maybe, into my mouth, and onto my *kitten*). :( I was so happy to find this site and see all the positive energy emanating from…

How do you feel about this weight calculator?
http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm I just found this and it give you 4 different ideal weights (people's choice, medical recommendation, 2 others) and it even talks about what's wrong with some of the calculators. I thought it was kind of interesting to see the large range of "ideals" that it gave me. Admittedly, I…

Finally had the drive to post a pic
Hey all I will be the first to admit I am camera shy, but given this is a site to show fitness quests, I posted a pic up of me. This is kinda a big step for me. I intend on making a progress of what progress I made, because I really didn't see it till this weeked when someone told me they barely recongized me and I looked…

DUE TO THE CREEP ON FRIDAY NIGHT...
Due to the creep who was on here Friday night, I would suggest.... mind you, this is a suggestion... that everyone use the new feature Mike put on here to change your user name (possible only one time) to not reflect your real name in any form. I would also suggest that we just use peoples initials instead of their names…

the donuts, they call to me!
Ergh... someone HAD to bring a box of Krispy Kremes to work today... I had a chocolate one. :embarassed: It only put me over by 90 calories, but STILL... *sigh*. I was embarassed after I had one, because the girl next to me said something akin to "I thought you were watching what you eat?" Grrr to people!

Off the subject......recipe help?
I'm a nurse, working at a nursing home, and I also help with activities some days.....One of the activities that I do is called "What's cooking?" and that's what I need to know.......I'm running out of ideas. I want something that is good for them, but high calorie, since with dementia, a lot of them have trouble with…

I've really messed up!!
Three weeks ago I was within 5 lbs of my goal weight. Then I had surgery and had to lay around for three weeks. So, I ate ...and ate. Now I have to basically start all over. I really need encouragement or maybee a swift kick for messing up!

How do I choose the right activity level?
I just got a job as a nurse extern!:happy: My current activity leven on MFP is sedentary (i'm a student...i study and sleep). I will be working 3 12 hour shifts a week. Durring those shifts I am on my feet at least 10 of the 12 hours and I am moving constantly...so on those days I have an "active" activity level. I dont…

HRM malfunctioning???
I am starting to get dissapointed with my Polar F4. I've had it for about 3 wks now but it looks like it is starting to malfunction. Twice already when I have pressed start it has not communicated with the chest strap to take the HR. The first time it happened it did something weird and then when it worked it told me I…

How to figure it out?
So how do I figure out if an activity falls under what? I am trying to figure out how many calories are burned from jogging the beach for 1/2 hour. What and how do I figure this out if I can't find anything anywhere online? Does everyone have their own machine to do this? I'm still hopelessly trying to find "Ripstick"…

Avatars
I'm curious about where everyone is getting the avatars they use - they look animated and are of bodies. Some are how big they were, and how big they are now, or want to be. Is there a website? How can a person create one?

Headaches....
What is the deal??? I have been having so many headaches lately!!! Lucky for me they have been somewhat minor but all day long! Geezzz! :indifferent: I am usually not a "headache person". I am thinking that maybe I am having too much or too little of something but I can't figure out what... :grumble:

Feeling Sick
I went to bed last night feeling fine...and woke up this morning and felt like I had been run over by a Mack truck. Every time I move my head I feel like :sick: and I am dizzy. I don't think I'm going to be able to exercise today, I'll be lucky to keep down the chicken soup I just ate.:sick: :sick: :sick:

I dropped the Ball
I didn't even get my wife a mothers day card, I put my daughters gift (she bought herself) somewhere and I can't find, and then my wife informed me that I didn't do anything for her on her B-day in Jan. I absolutely feel like crap and do not know where to begin to make it right. She deserves much better. Help :frown:

Watched an eye opening movie.
Hi all. I know this is kinda off the topic of exercise/fitness but it does raise some food awareness. I watched a movie called "The Future of Food". It basically talked about genetic engineering, use of pesticides, use of herbicides, conglamorates who try to mass produce this mess they call produce. I think that it should…

22 Pounds!
I hadn't lost anything for 4 days but I got on the scale this morning to happily find another drop, which means I have now lost 22 pounds in 5 weeks! I'd love to think this amount of weight loss will continue but I know I won't--but I'm loving it for now! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Heart rate monitors
Hi there everyone, wanting to invest in a HRM. I know the polar brand is good, get what you pay for. My question is which model or do all of them display your resting heart rate? Will any of them display calories burned as you go about your day or are they strictly for exercise? What about the MIO brand too? I know I have…
